Organised Gym vs PATO

Organised Gym is gym management software for Indian gym owners and fitness chains. It manages member plans and dues, with in-app and WhatsApp reminders and payment requests that owners approve. Attendance can be recorded by QR code or biometric check-in, with real-time logs and checks that memberships are active. Its biometric integration syncs member records with machines and links access control to membership status. One cloud account can cover multiple locations, with branch-level data and consolidated reports. The software can trigger WhatsApp messages using fee, renewal, and billing data. Members can view assigned workout and diet plans, log workouts, and use an in-app shop for gym essentials. Other listed tools include lead capture and follow-ups, plus analytics and reports for collections, dues, attendance, and memberships. Organised Gym runs on Android, iOS, and the web. The free plan covers up to 25 members; paid plans start at ₹699/mo. A free trial is available. The maker says it was founded in 2025 and is built and supported in India.

PATO is an AI-first gym management system for owners and members, available on Android, iOS, and web. Members can use its AI to log meals, build training and meal plans, book classes, and ask billing questions. Food entries can be made by photo, text, voice, or label scan, with estimates matched against a catalogue of 11K+ verified foods. Coaching tools include 2.9K+ movements and a plan builder for programs from 2 to 24 weeks. PATO detects at-risk members and supports automated or drafted outreach, recording each send. Gyms connect their own Stripe or GoCardless account for card and direct debit payments; PATO says it takes no percentage of member payments, while gyms pay the processor directly. Access provides QR check-in, and Access Pro can control compatible smart locks, keypads, and card readers. Classes, Access, Access Pro, Shop, and Custom Gamification are add-ons rather than base-plan features. PATO says gym data is isolated at the database level and staff access is role-based. It stores customer data in Australia under New Zealand privacy obligations; its AI does not give medical advice and routes injury, pain, and medical questions to gym coaches.
